Chisora Doesn't Expect To Face Joshua, Believes AJ Will Target Tyson Fury
This past Saturday night in Manchester, heavyweight veteran Derek Chisora mentioned three possible opponents for his 50th and likely final in-ring appearance.

Chisora scored two knockdowns prior to securing a twelve round unanimous decision over Otto Wallin.

One of the potential names mentioned by Chisora was fellow London fighter, and former two-time world champion, Anthony Joshua.

Joshua has been out of the ring since suffering a brutal fifth round knockout loss at the hands of IBF champion Daniel Dubois back in September at Wembley Stadium in London.

Chisora and Joshua are very friendly with each other - and Chisora's career is being handled by Joshua's management company.

"I need something big. I think I've earned something big," Chisora said.

The heavyweight explained that he doubts Joshua will face him. When Joshua decides to return to the ring, Chisora expects him to face British rival Tyson Fury, who last month retired from the ring but is also expected by most experts to fight again at some point.

"Who knows? Right now AJ is healing himself after the defeat from Daniel Dubois. He's not ready yet. When he's ready he'll come back and I think he'll come back - not to fight me but to fight the 'Gypsy King'," Chisora said post-fight. "I'll let the public decide [who next]. I'll let you guys decide."
